Restoring Your Deck

Is your fence or deck looking old and weathered? Can’t decided whether to fix or replace it?

Restoring your deck with a quality stain can and will add years to the service life of your deck!

This deck was in bad shape to begin with but with a combination of the right surface preparation, the right products and some good old fashioned elbow grease we were able to bring this old thing back to life.

We started off by masking everything off and applying a chemical stripper to remove all the old, flaky material. We then scrubbed and washed the deck off and let it dry thoroughly before moving to the next step.

It took almost an entire day of sanding to get everything dialed in to smooth out all of the raised fibers and restore the deck’s natural wood grain and color.

We then let it dry for another day before applying any new stain. It was going to be a hot, sunny afternoon the following day, which is not ideal conditions for applying stain as the sun can dry the fresh coating before it has a chance to really soak in to the wood fibers… so we made sure to get out there early to beat the sun and applied a fresh coat of Sherwin Williams Superdeck Semi-Transparent Stain and the end result speaks for itself!
